Mission Statement
The East Tennessee Valley Crime Stoppers is comprised of active and dedicated community representatives. East Tennessee Valley Crime Stoppers provides a method for local law enforcement to receive information on crimes and community members to share information on criminal activity and the location of fugitives in an anonymous manner and receive a cash reward for tips leading to an arrest. These efforts increase tips, which in turn increase arrests in our community thereby making our communities a safer place to live, work and visit.
